Bowling Green State University redshirt sophomore Alexis Rogers earned a pair of national honors from the College Sports Madness web site on Monday (Jan. 23).

This marks the third time in the last four weeks that a BGSU player has earned at least one weekly honor from College Sports Madness. Junior Chrissy Steffen was named both the National High-Major P-O-W and the MAC P-O-W by the web site on Jan. 2, while Rogers earned the MAC P-O-W honor the following Monday (Jan. 9).
Rogers, a native of West Chester, Ohio, earns the honors after leading the Falcons to a pair of wins in key MAC contests. The Falcons won at Miami, 61-58, Thursday night (Jan. 19) before returning home and beginning cross-divisional play with Sunday's (Jan. 22) 70-54 victory over Eastern Michigan.
Rogers averaged a double-double on the week, with 23.0 points and 10.0 rebounds in the two wins. She had her fourth double-double in a five-game span, with 16 points and 11 rebounds at MU, in a battle of MAC unbeatens. Both teams had entered the game with 4-0 MAC records before BGSU came away with the 61-58 road win. In that game, Rogers also had two assists and three steals, and she was 8-of-9 from the free-throw line.
Then, against EMU, Rogers exploded for a game- and career-high 30 points as East Division-leading BG beat the West Division-leading Eagles. She was 11-of-17 from the field and a perfect 7-7 from the free-throw line, adding a pair of blocked shots and three steals.
In her first playing season at BGSU, Rogers is averaging 12.5 points and 8.4 rebounds per game, leading the team in boards and ranking second in scoring, and she has been putting up MAC-Player-of-the-Year-worthy numbers in league play. In the Falcons' six MAC games to date, Rogers is averaging 20.3 points and 10.5 rebounds per contest, topping BG in both categories. She is shooting 52.3% from the field and 74.4% from the stripe in league games, and has 21.8 ppg and 11.3 rpg in the Falcons' four MAC home games to date
The College Sports Madness site, www.collegesportsmadness.com, names national players of the week at each of three levels (national, high-major and mid-major), and also recognizes a P-O-W from each of 33 NCAA Division-I conferences.
Rogers and the Falcons hit the road for a pair of games this week, beginning with a Wednesday (Jan. 25) contest at Ball State. Then, the Brown and Orange will take on Central Michigan Saturday afternoon (Jan. 28) in Mount Pleasant.
